Dubstep background music, and Miley Cyrus references, this video really is a relic of 2013

who else got recommended this 7 years later

Car journalists always start their careers doing such serious, deadpan reviews, and always gain success through hilarious silly challenges and comedy presenting.

96k miles on my 1.0 fiesta. Remaped to 150 bhp. Going strong in 2020 with no problems.

And here I thought ticking timebomb referred to the head gasket!

[JokobZuma]

This video came out when I was 9, I am now about to get this as my first car, time truely flies

[Fennefar]

In the price range, nothing drives as good as this car from new.

Love the ecoboost, can't believe how quick it is and so much fun to drive.
A 1 litre that goes like a 2 litre. Brilliant.

My engine failed at 42k miles despite full service history. New engine £5k fitted. Failed within six months, says a lot about back handers paid to make it an award winning

[JamesNixon]

Mines remapped to 145bhp, pretty damn fast for what it is. Pretty close speed to my MX5 2l now, but more practical as a daily

[Josh_Roberts]

£18k?? I paid 14k for a titanium spec with the dress up bodykit. Brilliant car!

[guyportmonteau]

UK review and the points are all correct. I took one drive in the U.S. spec and was sold.

Ford ecoboom. Most twisted cylinder head i've seen is from a 1.0 ecoboost. Aluminium head with a internal exhaust manifold, head has only one exhaust exit, collects a lot of heat.

[oksquall]

2 years after selling my Fiesta and I'm still regretting it. It's still the best car I've ever owned.

[BuzzaB]

"Ticking Timebomb" - well you called that one mate. they are literally blowing up 5 years later!

[dominicbritt]

How about highlighting the horrendous failure rate of these engines?

[marcnicol]

Had one of these 3 years ago and the Turbo packed in on the M8, Ii didnt thrash it around or anything and there was plenty of oil in the engine.

[ATCAUSACE]

My daughter's eco boost Fiesta (Australia) just had it's engine self destruct with a failed oil pump. 7 years old 130 000km. Was serviced regularly.

[godspeed]

If the ecoboost is ticking timebomb then it should be called a ecoboom!!

[juansign]
